Find the magnitude of the electric field due to a charged ring of radius "a" and total charge "Q", at a point on the ring axis a distance "a" from the ring's center.

Respuesta :

Answer:

E=[tex]\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}[/tex]

Explanation:

We are given that

Charge on ring= Q

Radius of ring=a

We have to find the magnitude of electric filed on the axis at distance a from the ring's center.

We know that the electric field at distance x from the center of ring of radius R is given by

[tex]E=\frac{kQx}{(R^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}[/tex]

Substitute x=a and R=a

Then, we get

[tex]E=\frac{KQa}{(a^2+a^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}[/tex]

[tex]E=\frac{KQa}{(2a^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}[/tex]

[tex]E=\frac{KQa}{2\sqrt 2a^3}[/tex]

[tex]E=\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}[/tex]

Where K=[tex]9\times 10^9 Nm^2/C^2[/tex]

Hence, the magnitude of the electric filed due to charged ring on the axis of ring at distance a from the ring's center=[tex]\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}[/tex]

The magnitude of the electric field due to a charged ring of radius "a" and total charge "Q", at a point on the ring axis a distance "a" from the ring's center is E = Q/[8√2πε₀a²]

Electric field due to a charged ring

The electric field due to a charged ring E is given by

E = Qz/4πε₀[√(z² + R²)]³ where

  • Q = total charge on ring,
  • z = distance of point from axis of ring and
  • R = radius of ring.

Magnitude of electric field due to ring

Given that for this ring R = a and z = a, substituting these values into E, the magnitude of the electric field at a is given by

E = Qz/4πε₀[√(z² + R²)]³

E = Qa/4πε₀[√(a² + a²)]³

E = Qa/4πε₀[√(2a²)]³

E = Qa/4πε₀[2√2a³]

E = Q/[8πε₀√2a²]

E = Q/[8√2πε₀a²]

So, the magnitude of the electric field due to a charged ring of radius "a" and total charge "Q", at a point on the ring axis a distance "a" from the ring's center is E = Q/[8√2πε₀a²]
